It´s important to have friends and contacts when you come to a new country. That´s the best way to get information and help.
It´s important to have a clear idea about your goals before you ask for guidance. It´s a waste of time to go there unprepared.
In Sweden and Denmark the students got personal guidance, but it was focused on their language skills.
Both in Sweden and in Denmark the society puts to much emphasis on the language skills. If you don´t know the language like a native you´re considered a second class citizen, no matter how much education you have.
In Belgium it´s important to learn two new languages before you enter the labour market.
Often your education isn´t worth anything when you come to a new country. It takes a long time to evaluate, for example six month to evaluate in Denmark for a Polish student.
In Turkey no formal guidance is available. In this particular school the try to seize everyone´s talent. More and more people come to school since they have been informed word of mouth.
The teatment of the teachers is important. It´s very important not to be treated as a child but as an adult with knowledge and experiences in your luggage.
It´s important to get to know about the culture at the same time as the language.
